Rotherham is a town in South Yorkshire in the North of England close to Sheffield and Doncaster. Best known for coal mining and the steel industry, Rotherham is a minster town with around 250,000 people living in and around the area. We took a walk around Rotherham Town Centre to check out the place and show you around the streets here. We start this walking tour on Westgate and head North past Main Street and down to Ship Hill and High Street. We take a left here onto Market Place and down into the heart of Rotherham Town Centre.

Following the availability of "Vitality Grants" from 2009 onwards, a number of new independent businesses opened in the town centre such as Yella Brick Road In 2015, Rotherham won the Great British High Street award for its independent town centre shopping. Judges praised the transformation of key properties and the restoration of its "historic core" A plaque commemorating the award was unveiled by Secretary of State for Local Government & Committees Sajid Javid MP in September 2016. As of 2021 the majority of the retail in Rotherham is made up of a thriving independent scene with lots of new start up businesses opening in the town centre. Due to the close proximity of Sheffield City Centre, Meadowhall shopping centre and the towns Parkgate Retail Park Rotherham has struggled to attract major brands. This has created the opportunity for Rotherham to proposition itself as an independent alternative.
